Correct. The plan is basically: 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/RFR
and the workflow is: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Request_for_resources_SOP

So, things start with a dev instance. In this nothing is saved, ideas
and setup are tried out, the packages are tested, process for
installing/managing is written up, thoughts are gathered about caching
and possible setup moving forward, a sysadmin-resourcename is setup
with all responsible folks working on the resource (which allows us to
know who is working on it and easily contact them), etc.

ok. 

So, I guess if you guys are ready for a dev instance we could set one
up and get the ball rolling? Or wait until packaging is done to reduce
the amount of churn/changes. ;) Up to you.
